Manifolding check



Patented Dec. 10, 1929- UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE ROBERT P. TEMPLETON, 01 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOB '10 PACIFIC BURT COMPANY, LIMITED, 0]! TORONTO, CANADA, A CORPORATION OF ONTARIO, CANADA MANIFOLDING CHECK Application filed November 20, 1925. Serial No. 70,224.

This invention relates to saleschecks, and more particularly tosaleschecks adapted to produce a plurality of copies, preferably six,

at one writing, all of which are attached together. f

The object of the invention is to produce a plurality of copies at a single writing with I the records in the conduct of the business.

Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear herein- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the.

' salescheck folded in position for manifolding, certain of the sheets having notches cut therein and folded back to show the condition of the back of the sheet,

Fig. 2 is a view of the record sheet stretched out its length,

Fig. 3 is a view of the reverse side of the strip shown in Fig. 2,

Fig. 4: is a plan view of the manifolding or transfer sheet adapted for association with the record sheet.

The record strip A is, in this instance, divided into six sections, 1,.2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, preferably by weakened lines 7', which facilitate the subsequent severance of the strip between sheets. These record sheets may be provided with printed forms 8 adapted to register when the sheets are in superposed relation. The forms, however, on adjacent sheets will be printed on opposite sides of the sheet in order that they may all lie face upin the folded condition.

For the purpose of transferring the record made upon the upper sheet to the lower sheets, a transfer strip B is provided which 1 is of the length of three adjacent record sheets of the strip-A. This strip B is divided into sections 9, 10 and 11 corresponding in size to the sections 1, 2 and 3 of the strip A and this strip will have transfer material upon adjacent sections on opposite sides of the strip. That is, the sections 9 and 11 may have transfer material upon the back as indicated by the small portion, cut and folded down at 12 and 13 to show this feature, while the section 10 may have transfer material upon the front having its back clear as shown at 14. Transfer material will also be supplied upon the upper side of the sections 4 and 6. It will, of course, be understood that this transfer material may be applied only in those spots required'to make the desired record. Thus where, as'illustrated, the section 6 is of greater width than the section 3,

it may be carbonized only over such portion of its face as is desired as shown at 15, so as to transfer the record to the sheet 3. In use. ,the strip is normally doubled .upon itself at the division line between the third and fourth all of the record sheets are superposed upon each other face up. The lowest sheet in the pack as now folded is the sheet 2 which receives its impression from the transfer material in the middle section of the transfer strip. Immediately above it is the sheet 5 which receives its impression from the trans= fer material on the back of sheet 4. Next above this is the sheet 4 on which impression is made by the section 11 of the transfer sheet. Above this lies sheet 3 which receives its impression from the transfer material on the back of sheet 6, while above this lies sheet 6 which is itself in contact with the first section of the transfer strip.

Since certain changes may be made in the above article and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. .1

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A record packet comprising a bill and an attached stub, an office duplicate bill and a plurality ofattached stub-s, said bills and stubs attached together in line to form a continuous strip, with the stubs between said bills, the strip being folded on a fold line between stubs to superpose one billand certain of said attached stubs upon the other bill and remaining stubs, the folded strip being again folded to superpose all said stubs into manifolding relation to the bills, said bills being of greater size than the stubs, whereby a portion of each of said bills is not in manifolding relation to said stubs, and manifolding material disposed to transfer inscription from one bill to the other outside of said stubs and from said bills to said stubs.

2. A record packet, including a continuous record strip, having at one end thereof an original bill form on the front face of the strip and at the other end thereof a duplicate bill form on the back face, said strip having stub forms or sections intermediate said end forms and of shorter length than either of said bill forms, said strip being doubled upon itself and folded intermediate its ends in a direction to bring said duplicate bill form beneath and in manifolding relation with the original bill form, said strip as thus doubled, and at the end thereof thus folded, being folded in a direction so as to bring the stub sections beneath and in .manifoldin'g relation with both of said bill forms, and transfer material disposed to transfer inscriptions from the original bill form to the duplicate bill form and to each of said stub sections.

3. A record packet, including a continuous record strip, having at one end thereof an original bill form on the front face of the strip and at the other end thereof a duplicate bill form on the back face, said strip having stub forms or sections intermediatesaid end forms and of shorter length than either of said bill forms, said strip being doubled upon itself and folded intermediate its ends in a direction to bring said duplicate bill form beneath and in manifolding relation with the original bill form, said strip as thus doubled, and at the end thereof thus folded, being folded once on a fold line between adjacent stub sections, and being folded a second time on fold lines between stub sections and bill forms so as to bring the stub sections beneath and in manifolding relation with both of said bill forms, and transfer means for transferring inscriptions from the original bill form to the duplicate bill form and to each of said stub sections, said transfer means including transfer material on the backs of certain of said stub sections and including also a transfer sheet with localized areas of transfer ma: terial on opposite sides thereof.

4. A record packet including a strip of material embracing a plurality of sections, the faces of certain sections presenting transfer material, such strip being folded upon itself to provide two plys and being coiled in packet form to present inscribing surfaces as defined by said sections and means providing a transfer agent disposed between said stripplys and overlying those section-faces which are out of contact with coated section-faces.

5. A record packet including a strip of ma terial embracing a plurality of sections, the corresponding faces of certain and spaced sections presenting transfer material, such strip being centrally folded upon itself to provide two plys and being coiled in packet form to present inscribing surfaces as defined by said sections and means providing a transfer agent disposed between said strip-plys and overlying those section-faces which are out of contact with coated section-faces.

6. A record-packet including a strip of material embracing a plurality of sections, the faces of certain sections presenting transfer material, such strip being folded upon itself to provide two plys and being coiled in packet form to present inscribing surfaces as defined by said sections and a transfer element including a strip of material also embracing a plurality of sections and the alternate faces of'such sections being coated with transfer material, said latter strip being disposed between the two plys' of said first named strip and the coated faces thereof overlying those section-faces of the first strip which are otherwise out of contact with transfer material.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
